We are coming up on an important energetic milestone next week,
the Vernal Equinox. This will be yet
another opportunity for humanity to step up to the plate and take charge of
their own personal destiny. In a world
that is rapidly spinning out of control financially, politically and
environmentally, I find that instead of people waking up and going within for
solutions and then implementing those solutions, there seem to be more who are
checking out and going deeper into unconsciousness. Some are maxing out their credit cards to
follow gurus and spiritual traditions that only want disempowered followers and
not empowered free thinkers, while others are digging in their heels and
hanging on to dysfunctional patterns that should have been dumped years
ago. I have run into so much of this
crazy stuff lately, that many times I have had to resist the temptation to say
“You should know better!” to a student or client.
Two years ago I wrote my book "Traversing the Infinite Now"
because of the difficulties several of my long time students and clients had
gotten themselves into. The book
contains a lot of common sense advice and exercises to help a person gain
understanding of what their issues are and how to move through them. Now people
have a manual of sorts to refer to when they know that something is going on
that no longer serves them. Still, one has to actually pick up the book and
make conscious use of the information.
An ongoing problem is that many truly do not know when they
have an issue that they can work through.
Yes, we are all asleep to some extent, but I am beginning to wonder if
the matrix programming is so strong in this regard that it may be nearly
impossible for most to wake up to their issues.
Are we being kept in a comatose condition that is so deep that there is
little hope for the awakening of humanity?
Are the addictions to the drama and distractions of earthly life that
strong? Are we truly incapable of making
that inner connection that will provide us with the direction that our life
should be taking? Granted, not everyone
is on a spiritual path, but on the other hand, shouldn’t we all be as spirits
having a physical experience?
Unfortunately, what can keep a person asleep to their issues
is that the positive gain is perceived to be more than the down side, until the
down side becomes overwhelmingly negative.
That may be enough to wake the person up so that they make a
change. A recent client came to me with
an issue of “change by force, not by choice” because even the thought of change
was too painful to contemplate. Is this
the attitude that keeps so many stuck and asleep? Are people OK with the negative side of
things as long as they perceive that they are getting some positive gain from
the situation? We humans are so adaptable
that as many situations on the planet get very slowly and progressively worse,
we easily adapt to the “new” normal, which would have been unthinkable decades
ago. Do you remember flying pre 911,
when everyone got a meal on the plane, your civil rights were not violated with a mandatory pat down, and your friends and relatives could meet you at the gate
when your flight arrived? Those
were the good old days. Look at how
easily we have adapted to the airport craziness that goes on now. What’s next?
Remember that you are in charge of your destiny. Continue to go within for guidance and
direction. Reclaim your power. WAKE UP!!!!!!
Great post, Carla. I feel that a lot of people's ability to stay asleep is due to the fact that our world today is filled with so many comforts. We are not fully connected or feel siginificantly affected by changes such as the examples you gave. It seems as though often times it is not until things get bad enough that we feel entirely stuck, at a loss, uncomfortable, or without any other option, that we are willing to make a change or able to face the truth with honesty. This reminds me of many people who face addiction...it seems that often times it is not until CRISIS, or your back is against the wall, that people are willing to make a significant change. Today, crises and hitting bottom are less common due to the availability of so many things. I suppose that is not the only time people decide to follow a more truthful life, because I feel it can also occur when people become utterly exhausted by things that no longer serve them or their soul--ie things or old ways of being that become emptied of value. I guess in either circumstance, one has to get to the point that they are fed up.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Kelley. The world is at a tipping point in so many ways now, that humanity may be pushed to the brink en mass, thus being forced to evolve and change. This is where the firm inner connection comes into play, as that can never be lost no matter what the circumstances. Thanks for your great comments!
